Come On Down And Experience the Sea of Cortez
The Sea of Cortez is at the heart of life in Los Barriles and the East Cape. Mornings might start with a walk along the beach, a paddle on calm water, or heading offshore for a day of fishing. Depending on the season, the sea also becomes a playground for kiteboarding, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling, boating, and simply cooling off with a swim.
